NJS form and stats

2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what NJS have to build on here at Klaukkalan tekonurmi in the Kakkonen.

Nothing to worry about in defence for NJS, as their goalkeeper Otso Knuuttila has completely shut out the opponents for 217 minutes in the Kakkonen.

An away draw last time out for NJS, facing KaPa in a game that ended 0-0.

Before that, NJS had a home game versus MYPA which ended with a victory 6-0.

PKKU form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for PKKU so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-5 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for PKKU in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Kiffen.

R. Tiberi, S. Kamara and J. Rantanen scored in PKKU's previous match, the home game against MiPK that ended 5-1. As you can tell from the results above, PKKU was very dominant against MiPK, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with R. Tiberi, S. Kamara and J. Rantanen providing the goals.

Prior to that match, the PKKU manager R. Hakanpää faced defeat when travelling to Reipas and losing 0-1.

PKKU have another game that requires travelling in just four days, a Kakkonen fixture vs PEPO. A demanding fixture list for the visitors!

PKKU have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. The PKKU manager R. Hakanpää has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The teams have faced each other previously this season, with the result PKKU - NJS 3-1 logged in the official records. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: two - two - five (NJS wins - draws - PKKU wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
